Considering the skill and capabilities that we have in India, the gem and jewellery exports have a huge potential to grow. Today, it is a US$ 40 billion export industry and GJEPC has played an important role in taking the gem and jewellery industry to the stature that it enjoys today. GJEPC has been facilitating trade with its various initiatives, whether its promotional, infrastructure, skill development, etc. With its first-ever Facilitation Center, I am sure the trade members would take advantage of this facility to grow their business and ultimately increase exports.”

Facilitation Centre will act as a platform for our member exporters to organise meetings with their buyers from across the world, thus improve their network and build trade relationship. 80-90% of the industry is MSMEs and the facilitation centre would be a great opportunity for our members, especially MSME members to invite clients and have business meetings in a comfortable and relaxed environment. I urge every GJEPC member to take advantage of this facilitation centre and grow their business.”
